Back at BYU!!!

Yay for Provo, Utah! Yay for dry weather! Yay for my wonderful roommates! Yay for mountains! Yay for school! (oh wait...not really) haha. Bucketloads of money poured out of my pockets? I'm not feeling too sincere about that "yay" at present. However, I am glad to be back to this familiar schedule and familiar people and places. Don't worry, my devoted followers, I did not fall off the face of the Earth. I simply spent some few precious days with my family. During which, I was forced to come back to reality. Sad day :( But now I get to go back to the real world. I start my job again on Monday at the International Services Office on campus as well as all of my classes. I just paid my rent and my tuition, and bought groceries and apartment and school supplies (shower curtain, hand soap, bath mat, notebooks, planner, etc.). I'm a little broke, but a lot of happy. I am thrilled to see my favorite BYU roommates and hear all their stories from this summer. I also can't wait to tell them all about Disney World! As soon as everyone gets moved in, it will feel just like a family again — our little college sisterhood. I am super excited about this next semester and this new ward. Rumor is, almost every single one of the boys is not a Freshman (that means they're RMs!!!!!) Heeheehee :) But don't worry, I'm a rational girl. I won't get into too much trouble. And I'll have so much fun too. Yay for Sophomore Year!! TTFN

Just Before 9am

So you know when you're having a REALLY good dream? You don't know it's been a dream until you wake up. But when you do, you think back and know that you liked it. Well, you know when that dream gets interrupted by an alarm clock or something at precisely 9:00? It's the worst feeling in the world, right? You know that insistent buzzing means you have to get up and get ready, but you were having the best dream for crying out loud! Where is the justice?! Now that we're on the same page...I'm afraid that's the moment I having right now. I'm sitting in the Orlando Airport with nowhere to go but forward (home), feeling I'm at about 8:59:30 seconds. Last week I was ready to be done with work, ready to see my family, and mostly ready for school. But today, I didn't want to get in the taxi, to check-in, or to walk down the hall to my gate. Unfortunately, reality has come a-calling and I have to go back to the real world. I know, I know, "all good things must come to an end." But I don't like it!! This has been the most Magical, Fantasmic, Nightastic summer of my entire life. I am so grateful that I am so insanely blessed to have had this opportunity. I will treasure this forever. TTFN
